Dwight Howard Showcases Gym Workouts With His Kids

by

Dwight Howard is nothing if not a workhorse basketball player. The first overall pick in 2004, he went on to have a dominant career in the NBA. Eight-time all-star, five-time all-NBA first team, a championship in 2020. Furthermore, his defense was truly elite. He won back-to-back-to-back Defensive Player of the Year awards and made four all-defensive first teams. Add in an Olympic gold medal and a host of other accolades and you have a first-ballot Hall of Famer right there.

However, Howard isn’t technically retired. Starting in 2022, Howard has been playing in the Taiwanese League. At the end of his first season, he had captured an all-star nod and Most Valuable Import. He also earned first-team honors for both the league as a whole and all-defense. Additionally, he led the team in rebounding. Now it appears that Howard is sharing his mentality with his children.

Howard Preaches Hard Work In Gym Videos

“In the process of being GREAT it’s going to be laughs, frowns, smiles, tears, blood, and sweat but that’s what is needed for us to succeed as individuals and also collectively as a family 🙏🏾I’m just teaching my kids what it means to be resilient, to be determined and to have discipline. Every day is a battle and some battles are going to be harder to win than others, but we have to fight them until we WIN!And if we WIN the day every day we’ll never lose in the end ! We have to finish every mission we begin and follow through. That’s the most important part ! Never say you can’t! Remember Philippians 4:13 🤔… YOU CAN and you will! Just follow through. That’s how you be Great 🙏🏾,” Howard wrote on Instagram.

The caption accompanied a collection of videos of Howard putting his kids through fairly intense workouts. In one video, he leads his kids into their home gym with the caption “Me & my kids walking into the gym @ 7am every morning”. Another shows Howard encouraging his visibly upset son to push through the pain to complete a workout on a stationary bike. His kids are also seen boxing with full pads. In a calmer image, Howard is seen doing Tai Chi with his daughters. For the record, Philippians 4:13 reads “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”

by

A new clip shows Nick Cannon and his two children with Mariah Carey, Monroe and Moroccan, hopping on a new TikTok trend. In the sweet clip, they’re all seen dancing the mother of the children’s 2008 song “Touch My Body.” Fans in the comments section were quick to dote on the adorable video.

“I don’t care how many kids he got.. He Always there,” one users writes. Another says, “#dadmode the best feeling the world.” The twins are two of Cannon’s 12 children. Recently, he shared another sweet post on social media in celebration of his other set of twins’ birthday. Zillion and Zion, the two boys he shares with Abby De La Rosa, turned two last month.

Recently, Cannon also appeared on The Language Of Love podcast where he told Dr. Laura Berman that he is pursuing a master’s degree in child psychology. He explained that his desire to do so stems from him wanting to the best father he can be to his kids. When the hosts asked him what aspects of the degree interest him the most, he said “Oh, the presence of a father and how much will they need you.”

He went on to say, “The Freudian aspect of reverting back to your childhood trauma, or the lack thereof. Nature vs nurture. These are conversations I have several times every single day. I’m living, whether in therapy on my own or even just wanting to make sure that every single child has what they need, developmentally and emotionally. I’m studying the brain and at what point does sensory matter.” He also said that he thinks his 6-year-old son with Brittany Bell, Golden, “knows his dad is known for having a lot of kids.” “I think the school that he’s in,” he explains, “he’s on the internet.”

Kim Kardashian Says She Tries Not To Be Upset About Kanye In Front Of The Kids

by

Kim Kardashian says that she tries to suppress her emotions if she’s upset with Kanye West around their kids. Kardashian spoke about co-parenting with the disgraced rapper during an interview with Vogue Italia published on Monday.

“If it’s something concerning my kids’ dad and I’m upset, I try not to show as much emotion,” she told the outlet. “I have to be ready to explain why I’m upset and it might not be appropriate for them to know. There’s nothing worse than ‘You’ll understand when you’re older.’ I don’t want to be that person.”

Kardashian added that she doesn’t suppress all emotions. If she’s upset about something understandable, she’s willing to open up. “But if I’m upset about other things that they can understand, I absolutely will show emotion and cry,” Kardashian added. “On Christmas morning, I cried when my mom gave me a doll house. My kids didn’t understand why and I explained I had that at my dad’s house as a little girl.”

The interview with Vogue Italia comes as Hulu continues airing the newest season of The Kardashians. Kanye West’s public erratic behavior is being covered on the show. “It’s always just so intense,” she shared in one episode. “I just don’t want to engage in a public feud with him.”

West and Kardashian were married from 2014 through 2022, although they technically separated a year earlier in early 2021. Together, the couple shares four children in North West, Saint West, Psalm West, as well as Chicago West. Kardashian has been vocal about her experience co-parenting with West in the past. She previously revealed that she cries herself to sleep during an interview with the On Purpose with Jay Shetty podcast.

Nick Cannon Reveals He’s Preparing To Start Introducing His Kids To Their Siblings

by

Nick Cannon has a lot of kids. 12 is the exact number at the time of writing. A lot has been said about Cannon’s proclivity for procreation, especially by Cannon himself. This has often landed him hot water, when he has joked about impregnating women like Taylor Swift and Bianca Blair.

What has also gotten him in trouble is the issues that come with having so many children with so many women. In chronological order from the last few months, Cannon has forgotten the name of one of his children. Furthermore, he admitted that he may have sent some Mother’s Day cards to the wrong people. Additionally, he’s been accused of not paying child support to certain women because of how many kids he has.

However, Cannon is having to navigate the waters of telling his kids that they have a lot of siblings. “As much as that may be a wish of mine, I’ve got to respect that’s not a wish of everyone’s,” Cannon said about getting all 12 kids in the same room. “I think that we’ll get there. One of the things I’ve witnessed from some of my elders in the game, once the children get of age to make their own decisions, it’ll happen. Because they’re currently under their mothers’ jurisdiction, I’m trying to play by the moms’ rules. But once they can make their own decisions, I would hope and pray that we’ll have established a strong enough relationship that they’ll want to come hang out with me.”

Apparently, the issue has come up recently regarding his six-year-old son Golden. “I think he’s kind of already figured it out. He knows he has other siblings. Even within his own house, he’s not an only child,” Cannon continued. “He knows about his older siblings. He’s been around the younger ones. He’s been around them, just nobody talks about it. It’s not like, ‘This is your brother or your sister. And I think the school that he’s in, he’s on the internet. He knows his dad is known for having a lot of kids,” he noted, though he said the second grader has never asked. The time is now before another kid at the school says [something],” he suggested. “But I think it’s not going to be a difficult conversation.”

Blueface Posts Up With Ankle Monitor & Kids On Instagram Story

by

Blueface is probably celebrating an odd but nonetheless special Father’s Day this Sunday (June 18). Moreover, the Los Angeles rapper recently posted some videos on his Instagram Story of him lying on a couch playing his new song “BDD”- with some unfortunate bling. As presumably his kids walked and bounced around the living room, he laid there with an ankle monitor on, most likely due to his recent arrest. For those unaware, authorities took Blue in on attempted robbery charges, though he quickly posted bond and none other than his first baby mama Jaidyn Alexis picked him up.

Speaking of that drama, his current on-and-off-again flame Chrisean Rock recently dished on her pregnancy by him. Of course, that’s been a big source of contention between the couple, and one that has to ring even more powerfully on Father’s Day. Still, at least right now, it looks like the couple will probably figure it all out, with new maternity pics visually indicating his support, if nothing else. Considering their history, nothing is truly set in stone for them. Regardless, hopefully this all works out before their child is actually born.

“I got the DNA test, it’s his child,” Chrisean Rock recently said of Blueface’s claims that the baby wasn’t his. “It’s funny because when we did the lie detector test, he wanted to record s**t so bad.” Also, the reality TV star toyed with the idea of a home birth. “I watched how hospitals do it with babies, and they rough! You not about to f**k up my kid’s neck like that. I saw how they do it at home and it looks very gentle, like more your speed.”

Meanwhile, another indicator of a reconciliation is that they partied together after the 27-year-old’s short recent stint behind bars. As for the future, we’re sure that there will be a little more back and forth before Rock births their kid that will cause some more speculation. For now, hopefully he can enjoy his day with family and might even continue his change of heart in the process. On that note, for the latest news on Blueface and Chrisean Rock, stick around on HNHH.

French Montana Debates With His Kids Over Ice Spice Versus Latto

by

Unfortunately, it seems like fanbases are more propense to pit female rappers against each other rather than encourage collaboration. Whether that’s because of a more misogynistic industry landscape, interest in beef, or just pure coincidence is up for debate. Still, competition in rap is natural and even encouraged across all generations, because who wants to sit there and admit that they’re a worse MC than another? French Montana and his kids, though, approached this in quite the light-hearted way rather than feeding into the worst parts of those tendencies. While celebrating one of his sons’ graduation, the rapper acted as a mediator in a debate over whether Ice Spice is better than Latto or vice versa.

“Latto is better than Ice Spice!” the graduate exclaimed after one of French Montana’s friends, presumably, said as such. “He put you on video saying that,” his other son remarked before the graduate jumped in. “Nah, never,” the “I Can’t Lie” hitmaker said in an effort to moderate. “Y’all both equal, y’all both good.” Hilariously, his two sons joked about the femcees hitting them up.

French Montana Moderates Ice Spice Versus Latto Debate With Children

Interestingly enough, the 38-year-old has only worked with one of these artists so far. Him and Latto have a track with Ty Dolla $ign, “Striptease,” off of French Montana’s 2021 album “They Got Amnesia.” Of course, that’s not to say that French Montana and Ice Spice couldn’t have a collab in the future, just that he could’ve easily played into a bias with his comments. Fortunately, he was right to dismiss the competition, if only because his opinion as a fellow famous rapper could have more industry consequences than that of his kids. Let us know what you think of that debate in the comments down below.

Meanwhile, the Moroccan-American rapper is set to premiere his documentary For Khadija soon, which documents his experiences as an immigrant growing up in the Bronx during his teenage years. While the film doesn’t have a release date for wider release as of yet, it will premiere at the Tribeca Film Festival on Friday (June 16). It will surely be an emotive experience, and one that represents his hard-earned rise to bringing a better life for his family while being inspired by them. For the latest news on French Montana, Ice Spice, and Latto, keep checking in with HNHH.

21 Savage And His Kids Rock Out In The Car

by

21 Savage was recently joined by his children for a performance in his car. They serenaded social media in a clip shared yesterday, which got a lot of love from fans. In the video, the family shared their renditions of songs by Toosii, Tems, and more. They also sang along to their father’s song with The Weeknd, “Creepin’.” Though it’s likely fans won’t get a chance to see 21 Savage’s kids perform live any time soon, they can catch the rapper on his current tour with Drake this summer.

“This just made my heart smile,” one social media commented in response to the sweet clip. Another called it, “too cute.” The rapper and his children also performed a version of Lil Durk’s “All My Life,” featuring J. Cole, which he recently shared his thoughts on. He gave J. Cole credit for his contribution to the song, writing, “Cole just went so crazy on that verse wtf,” in May.

21 Savage also recently made a surprise appearance at the Dreamville Festival in Raleigh, North Carolina. Drake brought him out onstage at the event, co-headlined by J. Cole. He performed “Knife Talk” and “Rich Flex,” and later shared behind-the-scenes photos from the fest of him with two of his children. “Dreamville was different,” he said in his post.

Drake and 21 Savage announced their It’s All A Blur tour in March, which features over 50 stops across the U.S. Drake revealed plans for the tour during a Twitch livestream, where he said, “Ah, man, I can’t wait to see the people.” He continued, explaining, “It’s like one thing to make the music but to see it is the most gratifying feeling. It’s different when you’re performing, you look out in the crowd, someone locks eyes with you and you can just tell it’s a moment.” At the end of last year, 21 Savage and Drake shared their collaborative LP, Her Loss, with fans.

Kanye West & Kim Kardashian Continue To Co-Parent At Saint’s Soccer Game

by

Kanye West and Kim Kardashian were both in attendance at their son Saint’s soccer game in Tarzana on Sunday. In photos obtained by TMZ, both parents appeared cordial while co-parenting their children. A witness for the outlet described the two as appearing to be on decent terms, making small talk and discussing Saint’s performance throughout the game.

West and Kardashian have been separated since early 2021. At one of their kids’ recent sporting events, Ye brought his partner, Bianca Censori, although she wasn’t present at Sunday’s game. Kardashian appears to be single since dating Pete Davison from November 2021 through August 2022.

In total, West and Kardashian share four kids. They welcomed their daughter, North, in June 2013, their son, Saint, in December 2015, their second daughter, Chicago in January 2018, and their second son, Psalm, in May 2019.

Kardashian previously discussed the difficulty of co-parenting with West during an appearance on the Angie Martinez IRL podcast in December. “It’s hard. Shit like co-parenting, it’s really fucking hard,” she shared while wiping tears from her eyes. “I had the best dad. And I had the best memories and the greatest experience. And that’s all I want for my kids. As long as they can have that, that’s what I want for them. So, if they don’t know things that are being said, or what’s happening in the world, why would I ever bring that energy to them? That’s real heavy, heavy grown-up shit. And they’re not ready to deal with it, you know? When they are, we’ll have those conversations. And I’ll be so prepared. But until then, I’ll do anything to keep their life as normal as possible.”

Kardashian also said that she had prevented her kids from knowing the extent of West’s recent erratic behavior. “I definitely protected him and I still will in the eyes of my kids, for my kids,” she said during the interview.
